This month's standings in the Black Gold State Race features a spotlight on the 100 Club. Those are the hounds who have accumulated 100 or more points to date.

Clemens Ellie Buster leads the pack in this club with 130 points earned thus far. This puts her in great shape over her kennel mate for a first round bye at the National Runoff. Ellie posted an impressive nine Grand wins this year. The 2007 model is owned by Lee Clemens of Astoria, Illinois.

Ma&Pa's Jack Daniels currently has the edge in Indiana with 120 points. Jack lays claim to five wins, seven seconds and a third place win this year. This three year old is owned by Max Cosby of Waveland, Indiana. Ironically, he comes from a same cross as does Ellie Buster only two years younger.

Clemens Tuff Lil Biscuit brings his 120 points to to the 100 Club with a fantastic year that includes three wins, three seconds and a third. These seven placement's were earned in five different states this year. His record shows two wins towards Grand for the coming three year old owned by Lee Clemens and Jonathan Hayes.

Clemens Finder2 has found herself caught up in a few computer glitches throughout the year when it comes to her home region. Sometimes she showed up in the Mississippi region and other times in the Missouri region. Regardless, she is in the correct region of Missouri and enjoys a significant lead for owner Jonathan Hayes of East Prairie.

Shag's Heli-Prop Chop makes his way into the 100 Club with an even 100 points to his credit. The five year old has brought 10 1st place wins to the club for owners Josh and Garrison Lee of Paragon, Indiana.

Congratulations to the owners of these hounds as well as all others in contention for the National Runoff next March!
